18. Waves & Sound / Velocity of Transverse Waves / Problem 10
A boat is tied to the coast by a 0.85 kg rope. The length of the rope is 5.6 m between the lashing points of the coast and the boat. A sudden jerk of the boat due to the ocean waves creates a transverse wave in the rope, which travels along the rope and reaches the lashing point at the coast in 0.95 s. Find the tension in the rope.
